The 9000 bit is so there is always a standard footprint for the barcode.
Does not compute. Out of cheese error.

The barcode is only standard without the 90000 part.

Older books in days of publisher fixing price had the UK £ price on additional barcode. That's gone. Now just the regular barcode.

I've never even seen a printed book with a 90000 addition code except from D2D proofs. They refuse to remove it or let us do the barcode, which we do elsewhere with 4 other POD suppliers. Even Amazon doesn't require the 90000 code on KDP formerly Create Space.

It must be a USA thing, but we don't even want D2D to distribute paperbacks in the USA.
